Imagine... A world with love.

How could someone else's happiness disrupt yours?

Imagine... A world with love.

Everyone always talks about standing up for what they believe in and wanting to be happy, but there are so many things in the world that stop it from being like that. As a writer, I have heard that I need to stay up on the latest of all. But I personally hate to read the paper or watch the news because all you will ever see is negative or horrible things that happen.

Everyone in this world wants the same thing. They want to live their life to their expectations, be happy and enjoy life with the ones they love. For some reason, some people think that if one set of people are happy, it will stop them from having it. How? If

How does one person's happiness stop someone else from being happy?

That question has NO answer. Not really. Imagine if people were only concerned with themselves. Imagine if laws were made to help people and not to allow or ban a specific set of people's life.

Imagine if we stop putting definitions of beauty, wealth, and happiness. It's ridiculous how many people equate happiness and wealth to money. And define beauty as a set boxed in type. These are the things that cause some people to be depressed because they cannot live up to certain standards, while others are trolled for not living up to them.

It's okay to be original, it's okay to be different. Imagine a world where we all wore what made us feel comfortable with no judgment (I'm sure I would be wearing the same things, I'm already that person). But imagine how many feet would be saved from bunions and ankles saved from being twisted. (I am that girl that used to fall on my ankle in heels.)

So I say all this to say...

Be you, no one can be a better you than you. And those who troll others because of their insecurities or just to be mean, find some joy in your life. Find out why you are miserable and fix it. Stop talking down on someone simply because it's something you cannot understand or choose not to. Imagine a world that was based on love and not hate. Helping build others up instead of tearing people down. I think the world would be a way better and healthier place.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
